[QUOTE="gman4691, post: 1799163, member: 43107"] Just anectdotal...know a man who runs about 300 head and his wife told me he usually sells steers at about 12 months. Have heard the same from others from time to time. I need to make a trip to sell barn and see who's paying how much and for what...that may clarify a few things. As I've said in other posts, my dad always handled this end of things...I was always just a labor hand and did what he told me to do. He died last May and my 83 year old mother and myself are trying to figure some of this stuff out. I'm no babe in woods when comes to caring for cattle...but the selling end of things has proven to have a bit of a learning curve. We don't mind throwing some inputs out there but don't want to shoot ourselves in the foot with it. Just trying to think through whether it would be worthwhile to set aside some steers next year (got mostly heifer calves this year) for a more intensive feeding program vs. what good it would do in terms of what we could expect at the sale barn (unpredictable factors duly noted).
